* MemeticMutation: A lot of jokes have been made about Doctor Strange's actor Peter Hooten bearing an uncanny resemblance to pornstar John Holmes in this film, together with its disco/funk-inspired soundtrack sounding like [[BowChickaWowWow porno music]]. In fact, this is perhaps one of the few reasons the movie was known before its resurgence in popularity after [[Film/DoctorStrange2016 the 2016 film]] about the character.

* HarsherInHindsight: The film's ending reveals that Morgan le Fey somehow survived the punishment she received from the evil entity that employed her and is now living on Earth as a self-help guru, with the strong implication that her followers have formed a {{Cult}} around her. This film was released in September 1978, a little over two months before the Jonestown massacre in November of the same year. In fact, it's more than likely that Le Fey's cult was a reference to cults like the Peoples Temple (mixed in with the New Age self-help fad at the time), as at the time they attracted some attention for receiving some celebrity endorsements.
* HilariousInHindsight: The plot of the movie, about Strange having to defend a woman from an antagonistic female sorcerer across various dimensions, bears more than a passing resemblance to the plot of the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]] film ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness''. This even extends to things like Strange using his powers to mess with a street artist at the end of this film mirroring Strange using his powers to mess with Creator/BruceCampbell's cameo as a street vendor in ''Multiverse of Madness'', and TheStinger of the latter film [[spoiler:introducing Clea to the MCU after the 1978 film featured her, albeit the MCU one is a much more comics-accurate version than the non-powered human that appears in the 1978 film.]]
